Nothing is readily apparent from the files you sent. You should try running
htdig -ivvv and looking at its output for reasons why it might be rejecting
URLs you're expecting it to find and index.

However, have a look at my observations below...
(By the way, when submitting a new question to the list, please don't
include a copy of a response to an earlier, unrelated question. It just
adds clutter and confuses the issue.)

I don't know if a numeric URL here is a problem or not. It shouldn't be,
but if some pages include absolute URLs to this server and mention it by
name rather than by address, those URLs will be excluded because they fall
out of the scope of limit_urls_to, which takes on the value of start_url.

Wildcards aren't supported in this context. The /*.bak above will only
match URLs that literally contain the string of characters "/*.bak"
at some point. However, you could add .bak to bad_extensions to get
the effect you want.

> bad_querystr: Port 80

I'm not sure what you're trying to do with this, but what it will do is
reject any URL that contains the string "port" or "80" somewhere in the
query string portion, after a "?" in the URL. Probably not what you
thought it was.

You ought to configure this before indexing any site through HTTP.

That's about all I can point out. The -vvv should give you more indication
of what's wrong. Note also that the main index page on your server must
contain HTML links to the rest of the pages, either directly or indirectly,
or htdig won't reach them. It doesn't see hidden (non-linked) files, and
it doesn't follow JavaScript links.
